Lakeside living in Ypsilanti
Tucked away southwest of Interstate 94 in Ypsilanti Township, Nancy Park is a quiet residential community with urban convenience. The neighborhood centers around its namesake, Nancy Park, and is located just north of Ford Lake, with plenty of local access points to this artificial yet scenic freshwater reservoir. Ford Lake is part of Huron River, which feeds into Lake Erie to the east. “Ford Lake is a hidden gem,” says Ashley Gartrelle, a real estate agent and broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, as well as the Office Manager for the Ann Arbor location. “It’s a step into lakeside living at its finest.” While most homes are not on the lake, condos are the more likely option, residents can walk to Loonfeather Park and enjoy the lake from there.
Ranch homes as the center piece with other complimenting styles
In Nancy Park, deciduous trees line the streets, while residents congregate in shared park spaces that add to the sense of community. Prospective homeowners can choose between a selection of single-family ranch homes, each offering its own sense of color and design. “This community boasts an array of housing options,” says Gartrelle. “It truly caters to very lifestyle.” Ranch homes may dominate the landscape, but there are a few condos, bungalows, split-levels and raised ranch homes throughout the neighborhood as well. Most homes range between $149,000 and $260,000, but condos can start around $80,000 and reach around $160,000 for a lakeside view. The median price for homes in the neighborhood is $163,000, with many having two to four bedrooms.

Fish on Ford Lake and play soccer at two parks
Given Nancy Park’s location along Ford Lake, homeowners can spend time on the water kayaking or canoeing. The lakefront space at Loonfeather Park provides another way to take in the great outdoors, as locals fish on Ford Lake or explore the park’s playground. Parking at the park is $3, and swimming or wading from the shores of the lake is not allowed. “Picture-perfect lake views greet residents every morning,” says Gartrelle. Located along the southwestern border, the neighborhood’s namesake Nancy Park has open green space for frisbee, a soccer field for practice on and a playground for children to enjoy.
The wide open spaces at Nancy Park make it a popular spot for kites and RC cars.
